Psa 101:3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
David was once a culprit of a worthless gaze and he experienced the wrath of its discipline. “One evening David got up from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s palace, and from there he saw a woman bathing; and she was very beautiful in appearance.” Eventually , David despised the Lord by killing Uriah the Hittite and taking the wife.
As a result , the Lord declared that the sword shall never depart from his house( 2Sa 12:10).
He therefore purposed never again to land his eyes on worthless, empty and void things.
The eye is the lamp of your body. The body becomes that which the eye beholds. Its one of the main entrance into the body. When your eye is clear ,spiritually perceptive and focused , your whole body also is full of light benefiting from God’s precepts. The sound eye majors on gazing at only that which is meaningful, productive and fortified with body building ingredients.
But when the eye is bad and spiritually blind, it derives pleasure from gazing at that which is lustful, temporal,poisonous and toxic to the body .The body becomes full of darkness, grapples in doom and eventually falls . Like Job, we should make a covenant with our eyes on what to behold and what to refrain from beholding.
